10 STARTING THE ENGINE (ILLUSTRATION D + E )
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower. Never stand on ejection side!
Always place the mower on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the
grass is too high it will block the cutter bar start-up and make starting the mower more
difficult). When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is
pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As
long as the mower has not been lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be
on the top part of the bar.
CAUTION
Hold the starter cable handle firmly when starting. The handle may otherwise slip
out of your hand. Risk of injury!
IMPORTANT
The motor only operates when the safety control bracket is pressed against the
upper part of the handlebar. As soon as the safety control bracket is released,
this returns to its original position under spring force, the motor brake is
actuated, and the motor and blade come to stop within three seconds.
– Push and hold the safety control bar (1) on the top tube (2) D .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (3) until resistance is felt, then rapidly pull it out E –
the engine begins to run, slowly recoil the cable.
NOTE
This engine has a ReadyStart
®
system : This system has a temperature-controlled
automatic choke. The engine runs with optimum power at maximum speed, which is
required for a clean cutting pattern (engine speed = blade speed).
11 SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE (ILLUSTRATION F )
– Release the safety control bracket (1) F .
12 EMERGENCY STOPPING
Release the safety control lever.
– The blade will stop.
– The engine will stop.
NOTE
Before every mowing job, make sure that the safety control bar for the engine
brake is working perfectly.
– when the safety control bar is released, the engine and cutter bar must come
to a standstill within three seconds.
If this is not the case, please consult your nearest authorised workshop.
13 MOWING
Safety instruction!
See table for explanation of symbols page 3
Mowing on slopes
NOTE
The mower can be used on banks and slopes with a gradient of up to 46% (25°
angle). Any steeper slopes can lead to engine damage.
For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you do not exploit this
theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance.
Manually guided lawnmowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in
excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost!
Checking the oil level
Check oil level each time prior to mowing Y1 . Never let the engine to run with too little
or too much oil. Irreparable damages could occur.
Checking operating safety
The lawnmower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before every mowing job, make sure that the motor stop safety control bar is working
perfectly. When the control bar is released, the motor and cutter bar must come to a
standstill within three seconds.
After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the "component
description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the engine has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the engine has
been stopped, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled.
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
To avoid risk, check the condition and firm attachment of the blade before every
mowing job. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised
workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar
can become damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged
blade must always be replaced. (Refer here to the chapter "Cutter blade care").
In addition, check the blade coupling every 10 operating hours for wear and a tight fit.
Also check equipment screws and nuts for a firm fit and tighten if necessary.
Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Danger: Electric shock. Never
remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running. Danger: Electric shock!
Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down. Danger of
burns!
If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Time restrictions
In Germany, the set hours for operating lawnmowers are regulated in the "32nd
Ordinance implementing the Federal Emissions Protection Act (32nd BImSch-V)".
In addition, there may be regional restrictions (e.g. to protect midday peace), which can
be issued by the respective local authority.
Tips on caring for your lawn (Illustration M )
WARNING
Remove any objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each
cut; but still watch out for objects lying around during the mowing process.
Ask your dealer about lawn care instructions. Information and instructions about
mowing can also be found on the manufacturer website.
14 SERVICE INTERVALS
IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Under extreme or unusual conditions, shorter servicing intervals
than the ones specified below may be necessary. If you establish any problems,
please contact an authorised workshop.
Carry out routine servicing on the machine in line with the following servicing intervals.
Work must be carried out at the following servicing intervals in addition to the
maintenance work listed in these operating instructions.
Before initial use
• Check the oil level Y1 .
• Check all screw connections for a tight fit.
• Check the cutting blade screw and have an authorised workshop tighten it if
necessary.
• Check whether the safety control bar for the engine brake is working perfectly.
• Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
Before every operation
• Check the lawn area and remove any objects.
• Check the area of the boundary wires (if an automatic mower is being used for
lawn care).
• Check the oil level Y1 .
• Check the condition and firm fit of the blade, if necessary have an authorised
workshop tighten the blade screw.
• Check whether the safety control bar for the engine brake is working perfectly.
• Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
